"What-If" DARS Feature Now Available

A new DARS feature provides the ability to request DARS reports for prospective programs.

To request a "What-If" DARS report, login to the DARS Web application using your Oak Id and password; then, click the "Request new DARS Reports" button that appears at the bottom of the opening page and follow the user prompts.

Degree Audit Reports

DARS is an acronym for the Degree Audit Reporting System. DARS analyzes degree requirements for a major according to the catalog year in which you entered the program. DARS reports are the printed results of the analysis. The DARS report displays the courses from which you must select in order to complete degree requirements, and it shows how the completed courses apply toward those requirements. The DARS report provides a "snapshot" of where you stand relative to graduation. NOTE: Requirements are not analyzed by DARS for some graduate programs and osteopathic medicine.

Although the DARS report provides a comprehensive description of program requirements, it is intended to supplement the role of the faculty advisor, who will help you with course selection and assist you in making informed decisions about a future career.

DARS reports are available online for students enrolled FALL QUARTER 2005-2006 or later.

You may view your most recent DARS report by clicking here. You will be prompted to enter your student Oak ID and password. 

If you feel that DARS is not correctly analyzing certain requirements, you should consult an advisor from the student services office of your college or regional campus student services office.

If you are unable to access your online DARS report please send email to dars@ohio.edu.
